Making your Individual Pan Pizzas with Salami is a delightful process. Just follow these simple steps:

1. Activate Yeast: In a small bowl, combine warm water, yeast, and sugar. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes until frothy.
2. Make Dough: In a large bowl, mix flour and salt. Add the yeast mixture and olive oil. Stir until a dough forms.
3. Knead the Dough: Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth and elastic.
4. First Rise: Place the dough in an oiled bowl, cover it with a damp cloth, and let it rise in a warm place for 30 minutes until doubled in size.
5. Preheat Oven: During the last 10 minutes of rising, preheat your oven to 475°F (245°C).
6. Prepare Pans: Grease your individual pizza pans with olive oil. This will help create a crispy crust.
7. Shape the Dough: Once risen, punch down the dough and divide it into 4 equal portions. Shape each portion into a ball and flatten it into a disc.
8. Assemble Pizzas: Spread a few tablespoons of pizza sauce on each dough disc, leaving the edges clear.
9. Add Cheese and Salami: Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce. Layer on the slices of salami and any additional toppings you desire.
10. Bake: Transfer the pizzas to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and cheese is bubbly.
11. Final Touches: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.
12. Serve Hot: Slice and enjoy your delicious Individual Pan Pizzas while they’re warm.
